Art History

The Mughal empire (1526–1858) flourished under a long line of dynamic and highly cultured rulers, who supported some of the greatest achievements of Indian art and architecture. Royal support for court painters, architects, weavers, and goldsmiths led to the development of a distinctive and unified Mughal style. Drawing upon the rich supply of gems and gold in India, craftsmen in the Mughal period mastered an enormous variety of jewelry-making techniques, which survive into the present day.
